With her divorce final, the hotel heiress has left Manhattan behind to scout new locations for her family’s chain of resorts.

*I received this book in exchange for an honest opinion*I started out loving this book. With lines like: "Maybe Laurel Falls was a perfect place for both breakdowns." and witty banter like: "Do you stare at your cars until they are intimidated enough to fix themselves?" I was loving this.As the book went on, I felt that too many story lines and characters were involved. I would love to see some of them have their own books and could have done without a lot of it in this one. It clogged up the flow too much for me and I found myself getting bored. The characters are great. The plot, interesting. It just needed better flow.
